Mothers, You are Building Cultures, Societies, and Kingdoms

Mothers, take heart.

You are building cultures, societies, and kingdoms while you are training those little people within your home. No matter what, someone is going to train them. Our rotten culture didn't come out of nowhere. It came because Christian families forsook their first duty and abandoned their homes to the enemy.

Let us return to our home and rebuild a vision for godly descendants that stretches into the future...

If we want wholehearted womanhood to become reality again, we must be willing to forsake the glittering paths of fame, recognition and celebrity. If we want beautiful girlhood for our young ladies--a time of innocence, joy and delight in service--then we must be willing to demonstrate it in our homes and live it beautifully for the watching world.

We are daughters of the King!

We are building a kingdom that will have no end.

We are shaping cultures--for good or ill--as we go about our daily tasks.

Let us purpose to follow Christ wholeheartedly, embracing the servanthood He demonstrated to us.

Let us purpose to put to death the grasping desire for fame

that our godless culture has raised up as its idol.

Let us be women of purpose and vision, serving Christ from hearts that overflow

As you can tell, I just received my copy of Queen of the Home in the mail and I MUST say this book should be mandatory for every Christian bookshelf. This book gives vision, guidance, hope and encouragement to embrace noble Christian womanhood and reject what the culture has to offer so much so that I am making sure that even my grandchildren get a copy of it--and not just because I have contributed to it--but because the wisdom and vision in it is priceless.

And a big thank you to Phil Visher (the creator of Veggies Tales), for sharing A Wise Woman Builds Her Home and Raising Homemakers on his blog!

Perhaps this could be the next book covered in the TCM group on fb? Thank you for the reminder about what we are "building." ;) I thought of Gal. 6:9...And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Oh Lord, help me not to faint! Blessings!

Thank you for sharing. I will definitely look into obtaining my own copy. Encouragement of this sort is hard to find and much appreciated, especially when so much in our lives seeks to push us down other paths. What wonderful encouragement!In Christ

Changing the world with a Vision of Multigenerational Faithfulness

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is place in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into it's soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller

Building up our husbands as leaders with submission and respect

"A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.' While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is nobles and richest in his being. She inspires him with her courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path. -JR Miller

We are blessed mothers leaving behind a godly legacy

My Legacy

This blog is dedicated to my children, that they will always know my heart for them today and when I am gone.

Exalting Christ with a gentle and quiet spirit

" Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious." 1 Peter 3:3-4

Making Our Homes a Beautiful Refuge

"Thank God, O women, for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen it it. Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there, beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it. Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled." ---Reverend T. DeWitt Talmage, D.D

I Work For a King

"I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him."
--Lydia Sherman

Oh, Mothers of young children, I bow before you in reverence. Your work is most holy. You are fashioning the destinies of immortal souls. The powers folded up in the little ones that you hushed to sleep in your bosoms last night, are powers that shall exist forever. You are preparing them for their immortal destiny and influence. Be faithful. Take up your sacred burden reverently. Be sure that your life is sweet and clean.--JR Miller
